Personal Details

  • About Me I've written a few poems that were published and I have published a children's book, Homer the Little Unicorn. I love to read books that have the characters fully developed such as Stephen King does with his books. It's great to read a book and feel like you know the characters, can see the place in your mind and it's like watching a movie when reading it. A Great writer makes the words come to life, IMO.

    Some of my work tends to be on the "social conscience" side and I try to make a difference with it.

  • Best Advice Read or Received “You have to read widely, constantly refining (and redefining) your own work as you do so. If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write.” ~Stephen King from On Writing

Interests

  • Who I'd Like to Meet Stephen King
    Dean Koontz
  • Books I Want To Read Many. Some evil purloined me from the world of books...but I'm back now. I've got a bunch of unread books here in the house, even some unfinished Stephen King books. My goal is to read all of these and then read some in the list from Stephen King's On Writing Memoir.
  • Interests Writing, reading, rock music, gaming, making websites, cooking, art. I have a lot of interests actually. I have a collection of lighthouses that sit on my mantel and a beautiful framed painting of Pemaquid Point. I have fond memories of childhood 4th of July family gatherings at Pemaquid.

    Posted in the topic The Banning or Burning of Books Controversy in the forum General Discussions
    August 23, 2022 1:54 PM EDT

    That is so sad. The Diary of Ann Frank is such a moving story that everyone should read. I have also been thinking of reading the true Mein Kampf because many are saying that it's the best way to get in the mind of someone like Hitler to see how he came to be who he was and how he motivated people to do what they did. 

    Banning books is a scary thing. People should be able to decide for themselves what they want to read and what they want to let their kids read. I guess it's fine to let people have automatic guns but it's not fine to let them read.

    Thank you for this illuminating post!
